Judy (Junte and Diety) Lohman is a writers couple from Holland, active since 2007.
Like the British couple Nicci French, they write literary thrillers, but also novels and travel books. Moreover they write columns and articles for several magazines and newspapers. They publish their eBooks on www.amazon.com, and also Dutch sites like www.ebook.nl and www.bol.com .
Diety Lohman was born and raised in Friesland, the northern part of the Netherlands. As a child she lived on a farm in this remote and sparsely populated area. She studied Economics (with honors) at the University of Amsterdam. After her studies she worked as a consultant at Ernst & Young and later on as a manager in the non-profit sector. Her motto?
'Writing together? We should have started much earlier.'
Junte Lohman was born as the son of a painter, and grew up in a small forester's cottage, together with his elder brother. He studied sociology at the Erasmus University in Rotterdam and, as a Harkness Fellow, City Planning at the University of North Carolina at Chapel Hill. In America he worked as a transportation planner. After returning to the Netherlands he became a partner at a Dutch management consulting firm and later on the director of a Charity Organization.
His motto?
'Writing is like sculpting with words and reminds me of my father's work as a painter.'
The couple spends six months a year travelling in a nine meter long converted truck, thus finding peace and quiet, and inspiration to write their books.
Their first literary thriller "Project Eva", written in Dutch, was published by Archipel/Arbeiderspers in 2009. Since then they publish their books through Uitgeverij Logion
